Chris Hipkins
Labour



Voters will elect 120 members to the New Zealand House of Representatives under the mixed-member proportional (MMP) voting system, a proportional representation system in which 72 members will be elected from single-member electorates and 48 members from closed party lists.

At the 2020 election, the centre-left Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, won an outright majority in the House. The main opponent to the Labour government is the centre-right National Party, led by Christopher Luxon.

On 19 January 2023, Ardern announced she would resign as Labour leader and prime minister before 7 February.[1]
